Chapter 35 Cohabitation in the Name of Study

"I happen to know a professor in the business school and can I ask him to help write a letter of recommendation......"

Before Chuck's father could finish speaking, he was stopped by Lily with a stern gaze.

For the always elegant Lily, this kind of expression is rare on her face.

Serena didn't care about this, and continued to ask her mother if she could.

Because she knew that the Vander Woodson family had board seats at several Ivy League schools, including Harvard.

Lily put down the knife and fork in her hand and put on a very serious look.

"Serena, of course I can write to the president of Harvard and recommend my daughter to enroll, but you still need to pass various interviews at Harvard, which is not an easy task."

Serena argued:

"But it's also a challenge, isn't it? I want to give it a try, and if it works, you and Sissi will be proud of me, won't we? ”

Looking at the persistent daughter in front of her, Lily suddenly had a headache.

There were some things she really couldn't say to Serena.

First of all, if she writes a letter to the president of Harvard, then there is no question of admission or not.

The Vander Woodson family has been a member of the Harvard Board of Trustees for more than 100 years, and has given countless grants and endowments to the school.

Harvard could come up with 10,000 reasons for rejecting a student, but none of them would apply to Serena unless the school didn't want to.

Secondly, even if Serena really passed the Harvard interview through her own efforts, everyone would only think that it was because her surname was Vander Woodson.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

If Serena can really be as good as Jamie and can't fault people in every way, then of course it's fine.

Lily knew that her daughter was of course excellent.

But for a top school like Harvard, it's not good enough.

Of course, there is one of the most important reasons, and Lily refuses to say.

Harvard is in Boston, and Serena's biological father is also in Boston.

Lily had been hiding this from Serena.

Although Boston is huge, and the likelihood of the two meeting is almost negligible, Lily can't help but worry.

Chuck's father was not aware of Lily's concerns, so he could only seriously suggest to his fiancée from a realistic perspective:

"Lily, if Serena can go to Harvard, I want Chuck to go there too, after all, that's the best option, isn't it?"

Lily doesn't want to refuse openly, so she wants Chuck to decide for herself.

She felt that with the bad relationship between Chuck and Chuck's father, Chuck would definitely go against her.

But Lily ignored a question.

That's Harvard!

Even a billionaire and real estate tycoon like Chuck's father can work hard to send his uncompetitive son in.

Chuck, on the other hand, doesn't really care which university he attends.

Anyway, when he goes to college, he just casually joins a fraternity and mixes with gold-plated for a few years.

Although Chuck resents his father's manipulation of his life's various arrangements, it is not impossible to go to Harvard.

Under normal circumstances, when it comes to this, Lily should have compromised.

But she was still a little unwilling, so she moved Blair out.

"Serena, I remember that you agreed with Blair to go to the same university, and I remember that Blair's goal has always been to go to Yale, right?"

Serena replied at once that it was before, but now it is different.

Lily frowned when she heard this.

"Is it because of Blair's father?"

Serena nodded in acknowledgement.

Blair's father graduated from Yale, and when he was very young, he took Blair to visit the Yale campus, and Yale became Blair's dream school.

However, that all changed with the divorce of Blair's parents.

Blair's father found a boyfriend and abandoned his wife, daughter and family.

This was a huge blow to Blair and Blair's mother.

So now Blair is very conflicted.

The only thing that is certain is that she is no longer as attached to Yale as she was before.

Serena had another reason not to say.

She had always wanted to go to Brown and Blair wanted to go to Yale, and that was fine.

But now if she chooses to apply to Harvard, Blair will be a little embarrassed to apply to Yale.

For Blair, an honor student with all A's in all subjects, he must not be able to accept that his college is worse than that of his best friend Serena, who often skips classes and does not have good grades.

Even Serena can go to Harvard, why can't she?

So Serena believes that if Blair knew she was going to apply to Harvard, there was a good chance that she would change her goals.

Faced with her daughter who was determined to go to Harvard, Lily had no choice but to compromise.

However, she still reminded Serena that she must work hard to improve herself in the next period of time, otherwise it will be embarrassing if she can't pass the Harvard interview.

Serena hugged Jamie's arm on the spot and said happily:

"Jamie has promised to help me make up for my classes, and I'm trying to improve my SAT score above 1,500 so that Harvard shouldn't have a reason to reject me."

Lily nodded in relief.

At the same time, Chuck's father also looked at Chuck, hoping that his son could also make a positive statement of working hard to go to Harvard.

It's a pity that Chuck still has that rotten attitude.

He just scored zero on the SAT, should he go to Harvard or Harvard, why bother with that?

was so angry that Chak's father pulled his face down on the spot.

Lily preemptively pressed Chuck's hand to keep him from being angry.

Unexpectedly, a sentence came out of Serena's mouth that made her blood pressure soar.

"Mom, I'm moving in with Jamie to better prepare for the SAT, and he just happened to buy a penthouse next to Central Park, and I love the environment."

Lily couldn't help but have a big head.

Are you going to prepare for an exam?

Why don't I believe it at all?

That night, the news of Serena and Jamie's cohabitation was exposed by the "gossip queen", and the entire Constance High School students knew about it.

The news was revealed by Serena on her own initiative to the "gossip queen".

Seeing the revelations on the blog, Jamie silently sympathized with Dan for three seconds.

His goddess slept with his best friend, and he had to pretend to be casual and break the gossip between the two.

At the same time, the news that Serena was preparing to apply to Harvard also spread, and the first word reached Blair's ears.

After calling Serena to confirm, Blair silently took off the Yale culture shirt her father had given her.

Isn't it Harvard? She can too.

On the other side, Rebecca also happened to be on the phone with her father, discussing college matters.

Rebecca had told her father before that she wanted to learn acting.

New York University or USC are good options.

But seeing the revelations of the gossip queen, Rebecca suddenly changed her mind.

"Dad, what do you think of Harvard's performing arts major?"
